Hello Tomorrow!
Started working with the Emirates Airlines today (their - correction - our tagline is 'Hello Tomorrow'). Beyond professional growth, hope that these breathtaking aerial views of Dubai become common enough!

Lightfall, Abstract-4
I has set the camera setting to 'multiple clicks' for a pic that I clicked before it and forgot to change back. So I clicked a picture and moved the camera not knowing that it was still clicking. The result however looked interesting.
P.S. Sorry about the gap - was caught up real bad at work.

Path of Roses, Abstracts-1 (Larger version strongly recommended)
I don't have a very good chemistry with God - so I decided to discontinue posting photos of his stuff for while. Here are some abstracts, and unlike last time - this time, Abstract is Real.

Symphony of Lights - 2
Of course the last pic wasn't all about the show. And no pics can actually have the feel - for various reasons :
1. Still pictures can't capture the motion of the(se) lights.
2. Still pictures can't carry that music and it sync with the(se) lights.
3. The show was all around - the buildings surrounding, the skies above and the waters below. No picture can get you that.
You'll have to be there to feel it. (Looks like I'm promoting Hong Kong tourism!!)

Lights and Heights - 3
I don't really know why I like this photo so much. Is it because of the almost 'unnatural' sharpness of the leaves of the palms? Or is it those two lights glaring the viewer into temporary blindness? My best guess, however, is something else. It was late evening - there was no sunlight for sure, But the floodlights everywhere along with the mist were creating an unnatural glow in the sky. There was breeze which every now and then smelt of burnt fuel from the ferries about to take the tourists for a small cruise. I was walking along the raised deck on land, clicking photographs as I was walking by - getting into awkward positions to take pictures at times - especially awkward for some one wearing a business suit. Somehow this sight, the one in the picture, left a strange 'conceited' feeling in me. As if everything was so artificial - in its attempt to be natural. Who are we trying to fool but ourselves?? I don't know if this photo carries that feeling for you - but for me it reminds me of the artificial lives we are living.

Lights ahd Heights - 2
These twin towers of light (I've no clue about the official name of this building) is one of the uncountable skyscrapers of Hong Kong that are gaudily extravagant in terms of electricity. The towers keep changing colors continuously, as u can see in the pictures, running a spectacular show all the time. This magnificence does have a charm of its own, that lasts as long as you don't start thinking about huts of those poor villagers who don't have electricity in their village yet.
Meanwhile, notice that the top of the building on left, is nowhere to be seen.

Lights and Heights - 1
This is the most precise definition of Hong Kong - Lights and Heights. Apparently too excess of electricity and too short of land. Most large (or tall) buildings are lighted magnificently, and in different ways from each other - each having a spectacular of its own. For a couple of days now, we'll see some of these here.

Hi again !! Back on Sunday, with loads of more photos (enuff to keep posting for a month at least :D) Was away for my first trip abroad to Hong Kong!! No thanks to my poor English that I am not able to find adjectives for the place.. or may be as they say.. A picture speaks a thousand words.. vision of Hong Kong, however, left me dumbstruck, open mouthed.
For the first time, I felt limitations of my CanonS2IS. The light, colors, widths, depths, heights exceeded far beyond what I could capture. And I *seriously* regret not having carried my wise angle lense and tripod. For almost every picture of lights in night that you'll see, I had to take at least 10 others to get one that did not blur due to handshake for shutters slower than 2 seconds at times. The first picture for example, is a 2 sec shutter hand-held, f/2.8. Not convinced with the depth of field of the picture, I wanted to go for f/8.0 which meant a full 15 second exposure with no tripod. I somehow managed to support the camera on a thing glass railing, still holding it by hand though - for the second picture. (Notice the height of buildings there!!)
Anyways, for most of the pictures in the Hong Kong series, the pictures would be interesting (if at all) for the interesting subjects rather than photography.
